npx cap sync

Example usage

import { CapacitorWifiConnect } from "@falconeta/capacitor-wifi-connect";

  async secureConnect() {
    let { value } = await CapacitorWifiConnect.checkPermission();
    if (value === 'prompt') {
      const data = await CapacitorWifiConnect.requestPermission();
      value = data.value;
    }
    if (value === 'granted') {
      CapacitorWifiConnect.secureConnect({
        ssid: 'SSID',
        password: 'PWD',
      }).then((data) => alert(data.value));
    } else {
      throw new Error('permission denied');
    }
  }

iOS Functions

For functionality, you need to note the following:

• Connect/Disconnect only works for iOS11+

• prefixConnect/securePrefixConnect only works for iOS13+

• Can't run in the simulator so you need to attach an actual device when building with xCode

• Will ensure 'HotspotConfiguration' and 'Wifi Information' capabilities are added to your xCode project

• Will ensure that these permission are described in info.plist

  <key>NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
  <string>...</string>
  <key>NSLocationAlwaysUsageDescription</key>
  <string>...</string>
  <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
  <string>...</string>

connect(...)

connect(options: { ssid: string; saveNetwork?: boolean; }) => Promise<{ value: ConnectState; }>

prefixConnect(...)

prefixConnect(options: { ssid: string; saveNetwork?: boolean; }) => Promise<{ value: ConnectState; }>
